SOLVING MYSTERIES 10

*Y/N

As soon as I finished changing into the formal dress, I left my room. I began to make my way to the entrance of the mansion. I am wearing a navy blue dress that accents my body, pairing it with natural make-up and curling my hair. When I went down the stairs, Sherlock, John, Mycroft, Carruthers, and Sim were present.

"The lovely Y/N is here." Mycroft announced and I smiled at them. I saw Sherlock stare at me while I made my way to the group and conversed with them.

"Well, thank you for the dress, Mycroft. I loved it." I said.

"You're very welcome, my dear. You look splendid. Knowing that my little brother looks at you that way..." He teased Sherlock. I looked at Sherlock and we smiled at each other.

"Of course, she's a beauty." Sherlock said as he kissed my forehead.

"Thank you, darling." I told him.

"Always a pleasure, my love." Sherlock said.

"We better get going, everyone." Mycroft announced. Sherlock lent his arm and I accepted it. We all gathered in one carriage. Sim rode first then I followed behind her. Sherlock sat beside me and the three other boys were in front of us. As we rode the carriage, I lay my head on Sherlock's shoulder and held his arm.

"Are you okay, my love?" He asked softly. I only nodded my head, yes, at him. When we reached the place for the summit, we all proceeded to the ballroom since Mycroft did manage to put us on the invitation.

The place is filled with noises of people chattering and music playing. Some guests were waltzing on the floor, enjoying the party.

"Now we're all present, I can tell you the targets are the German Chancellor and his ambassador, the French Prime Minister and his man, and the other nations are really working out which side to take should hostilities erupt. 'Cause... Prince Michael is a cousin of the Tsar and the Russian ambassador, Archduke Karl Ludwig, and the Austro-Hungarian ambassador. The Romanian Prime Minister and his ambassador. And of course, our Prime Minister and the British ambassador."

"He'll chose a moment when all dignitaries are assembled... Preferably standing still. Is there to be an official photograph?" Sherlock asked.

"Indeed, yes. In 38 minutes." Mycroft said while reaching for his pocket watch.

"Then in which case, we might as well dance." Sherlock said offering me his hand.

"I'll gladly take that peace before the storm." I said while the two of us walked to the dancefloor and we waltzed. He held my waist in his hand and the other held my hand. I placed my other hand on his arm, away from his injuries.

"What do you see?" I asked as I looked at him whose eyes were roaming at the ambassadors that Mycroft pointed at him.

"Everything. That is my curse." He said while looking at me.

"But have you seen what you're looking for?" He only looked back at his surroundings. Then, he looked back at me. 

"I may need Watson after you." He said. With him saying that I know that the night is becoming much darker. We stopped waltzing and I softly cradled his face in my hands. I began memorizing every feature of his face, even the creases. 

"Please keep yourself safe." I told him. He softly leaned in to capture my lips in his. He broke the kiss and he only nodded, leading me back to the group and asking John to dance with him. The two brothers began talking about the ambassadors that caught Sherlock's eyes. 

"What are they doing?" Sim asked.

"John's going to find your brother." I said.

"And Holmes?" Sim asked. I looked at Sherlock as he made his way to one guard and whispered in his ear. He made his way to the door opening it, and he looked my way. He showed a faint smile and walked out of the door.

"He has a mission to protect." I said.

John made his way back to me and Sim. We both looked at each other and we nodded our heads. John whispered to Sim as she drank from her wine glass. As they whispered, I saw my Father arrive. The man that Sherlock whispered came to give Father a note. Father looked at the door Sherlock exited and made his way there. 

"Shall we go to work?" John asked and we nodded our head. The three of us began making our way to find Sim's brother, but rather a new face of his brother. John and Sim began making their way to get to Rene. When they successfully tackled him and brought Rene out, John went to hug Sim because she was still in shock. I followed the sight of Rene when I caught a familiar face outside.

"No..." I said when we heard a couple of gasps. I ran outside and saw Rene shaking. I saw John beside me and we went near Rene, only to be held back by the guards.

"I'm a doctor!" John said and we both looked at Rene. I saw a dart stuck on Rene's leg. I grabbed it and saw Sim approach her brother. 

"What happened?" Sim asked. I showed John the poisoned dart and he held it in his hand as he stood and looked at the crowd. I began to unbutton Rene's top button to let him breathe for a while. Sim cradles her brother's head and she shouts as soon as her brother dies. I went near John and held his arm as we looked at Sim in sympathy. Just then, I remembered something.

"John." I called out. He looked at me in confusion. Just then, he looked back at the room and realized about Sherlock. He held my hand and we both went inside to fetch Sherlock. But as soon as he opened the door for us and we walked out, we saw Sherlock holding my Father to prevent him from restraining me. I gasped as he looked at me and John and pushed him and Father to the edge of the wall, falling down the mountain.

"No..." I said as I ran towards the railing and gasped as I saw the silhouette of Father and Sherlock fade from the fog of the falls. 

"Sherlock!!" I shouted as I fell to the ground. I felt John went near me and cradle me with his embrace as I cried in agony. 

"Oh God no! Sherlock!" I cried as I held John in support. John remained quiet, for the first time in his life, he didn't know what to do. He lost his friend and his friend lost her lover.
